PreMortem.Games
SEPTEMBER 14, 2023

FEBRUARY 25, 2021
This design became common in game engines and libraries in the early 2010s. I find this makes code simpler and easier to maintain and optimize (a testament to this is how tiny Godot's codebase is compared to other game engines, while providing similar levels of functionality). Game logic.
